Delayed Breeding Affects Lifetime Reproductive Success Differently in Male and Female Green Woodhoopoes

In cooperatively breeding species, many individuals only start breeding long after reaching physiological maturity [1], and this delay is expected to reduce lifetime reproductive success (LRS) [1–3]. Although many studies have investigated how nonbreeding helpers might mitigate the assumed cost of d...
